Probably not that accurate really, if the theoretical docked power is somewhere close to 400 gflops, then the XbOne is probably closer to 2.5x as powerful as the Switch. That's accounting for newer hardware design over the older XbOne gcn architecture and efficiency. When we see the first Switch games built from the ground up running between 720p and 900p at 30fps, we will have a better idea of what games can look like. 

Right now BoTW is a open world WiiU port that just happens to run better than the WiiU version in both 720p portable and 900p dock modes. 

The architecture is more recent, but as a mobile chipset it's hard to compare directly; it could be more efficient, or could be less as they cut features in the mobile version to save power.

Anyway, from the look of the games, and from Zelda's resolution information, it looks around 1.5x to 2.0x of Wii U GPU performance.

Well considering that the XbOne and PS4 both have mobile cpu's paired with semi-custom gpu''s, the Switch is not that far off from comparing. It's using ARM cores and Maxwell based gpu cores which are derived from the desktop cards of the same family. It's definitely not like comparing it to the Pica 200 in the 3ds or the Vita's gpu...
